The Voice‘s Michael Bublé gets emotional over son after singer loses her dad: ‘I couldn’t get through it’

The final night of the Playoffs was filled with tears.

Coach Michael Bublé was brought back to a difficult time in his personal life on Tuesday’s episode of The Voice, when team member Sloane Simon had to prepare a performance knowing that her father, who was struggling with cancer, was not expected to live long.

Bublé revealed in 2016 that his 3-year-old son, Noah, whom he shares with wife Luisana Lopilato, had been diagnosed with liver cancer and was undergoing treatment. He’s now in remission.

But hearing about what Simon was going through made Bublé tear up during rehearsal with her and country artist Carly Pearce, who was helping him advise his team members on their performances for the final night of the Playoffs.

“I went through my own personal thing when my son got sick, and I couldn’t get through it,” Bublé said. “I just couldn’t, and that’s okay. Like you said, [we’re] human beings. It’s a show, and it’s not as big as you, as important as you and your trajectory and your journey, this is just a part of it.”

Simon’s dad and the rest of her family had always wanted her to continue on The Voice, despite their circumstances.

By the time the 19-year-old from Pittsburgh, Pa., went before the audience and all the coaches, including Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, and Snoop Dogg, her dad had died.

She sang “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan. Before she went on, she said, “I think putting my emotions out there with this song is definitely what’s gonna give me a shot at going through to Lives.”

And the coaches were fans.

Snoop was compelled to walk onstage. “The spirit of your father is telling me to give you a hug right now,” he said, adding that she “did amazing.”

Stefani, Simon’s original coach, was left wiping her eyes in her chair. “Oh my god,” she said.

McEntire was also in tears.

It was Snoop who said it all: “Let me say this to you, sister Sloane: I’m proud of you. Dad’s proud of you. Thank you so much, Sloane.”

Bublé himself called her performance “marvelous” and one that would have made her dad “so proud.”

In an aside to the camera, he said that he had no idea how Simon had the inner strength to pull off her moment in the spotlight under the circumstances.

Still, Simon was one of three contestants Bublé sent home ahead of the Live Shows that begin next week. The others leaving the competition were young Jaukeem Fortson and Cameron Wright, who did an impressive job on songs by Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston, respectively.

Bublé opted to bring Shye and Sofronio Vasquez into the final round when the show returns after the holiday.

The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays on NBC and the following day on Peacock.
